Daltonganj, March 31: Dr Dharmender Kumar, associate professor and the head of the eye department, today took over the charge of the principal-in-charge of the Medinirai Medical College and Hospital (MMCH) from Dr R D Nagesh, who superannuated today.
Kumar is the fourth one to head the medical college which came into functioning in the year 2019.
Dr Nagesh was given a warm send-off by the faculties, students and staff of the medical college today.
He said he would like to join this medical college again as a surgeon on a contract basis.
The new incumbent Dr Dharmender Kumar in his address outlined his priorities.
He said discipline on the campus will be an uncompromising issue. Praising Dr Nagesh who had put a 21-day embargo on some medicos for their erratic and irresponsible behaviour, he added ‘the tough stand that his predecessor took can be set as an example.’
Dr Dharmender Kumar said he is occupied with the issue of 70 per cent vacancy in different faculties of this medical college and so he, along with his colleagues would strive hard to get these vacant posts filled up at the earliest.
